Are woman attracted to men that look like/ remind them of their fathers?

An old Freudian theory, I'm pretty sure this is true.

Very good article on the subject:

I think it's a really interesting concept, and with most women I'll bet it's spot-on.

Drop your opinion/ experiences on the subject.

Studies prove women are physically attracted to men who have similar facial features to their fathers.

Not much you can do to influence it, but it's still an interesting idea worth discussing in terms of the psychology behind attraction.

Uh, no. It's a Freudian theory that dates back to the origins of modern psychology.

You would learn about this in any intro-level psych class or any course on adolescent behavior. This isn't some bozo trying to sell a book.

Plus, females being attracted to a father-figure totally gels with a lot of the Don Juan/ Alpha Male stuff talked about on SS. (Referenced in this article, for instance: http://www.sosuave.com/halloffame/hall305.htm)

You can use a woman's childhood/ upbringing to gauge what kind of men she's attracted to (physically and emotionally). It's called sexual imprinting. Maybe you should research the topic.

They say a girl will always marry a man that reminds her of her father. A lot of the crazy women that are obsessed with the physically/mentally abusive boyfriends had dads that did these same things.

Why is this topic being ignored?

So girls want to f their fathers? Remind me never to have a daughter.

I was just reading a book by Kevin Hogan yesterday, and he cited a study in which this was shown to be true.

Works the same way with men.

We're attracted to women who remind us of our mothers.

Is she a daddy's girl?

If so, you better look like her father
